{"product_id":"9789085868293","title":"Keyboard Instruments : Virginals, harpsichords and organs in paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries by Timothy Depaepe","description":"Paintings featuring harpsichords, virginals and organs offer us a glimpse of gorgeous interiors, amorous scenes and finely-dressed ladies - and the occasional young man too - at the keyboard. Keyboard instruments can also be the key to decoding an allegory, myth or hidden message in a painting. This exhibition catalogue showcases a collection of such paintings and also includes painted harpsichord and virginal lids as well as original instruments. Loans from the National Gallery in London, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Suermondt-Ludwigmuseum in Aachen and many other museums and collectors offer a delight for eyes and ears.   Featured artists include Frans Floris, Jacob Jordaens, Maerten de Vos, the Francken family, Jan Miense Molenaer, Jan Steen, Gerard Dou, Gabriel Metsu en Jacob Ochtervelt.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311145595253,"sku":"9789085868293","price":34.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9789085868293.jpg?v=1762816670","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9789085868293","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
